Fitting, a Saudi startup, secured $500,000 in pre-seed funding for building materials supply chain innovation.

They connect bulk suppliers with retailers and developers via an online platform, replacing outdated methods.

Founded by Abdulaziz Almubayad and Mohammed Almobid, they aim to transform construction industry connections.

The niche focus is challenging yet crucial for Saudi's booming property and construction sector.

Their progress signifies promising growth for the local startup ecosystem in MENA.

Fitting, the Saudi startup making a name for itself in the building materials supply chain, has successfully wrapped up a pre-seed funding round with $500,000 in the bag. Not too shabby for a company still finding its feet – and if you’ve spent much time in the region’s startup circles like we do at Arageek, you’ll know how fiercely competitive this corner of the market can be. There’s always a fresh face trying to shake things up or make life a bit less of a faff for other businesses.

What makes Fitting stand out? Their main focus is to bridge the gap between bulk suppliers and everyone down the chain: retailers and property developers in particular. Instead of sticking to the old-school, phone-call-and-paperwork approach that dominates most of the sector, Fitting’s platform lets property developers and retailers request quotes and building material offers from suppliers online. It’s all about smoothing over the cracks—you know, making the process spot on so that businesses can get what they need without all the time-wasting.

The venture was set up by Abdulaziz Almubayad and Mohammed Almobid (mark down their names; quite likely we’ll be hearing more about them). Curiously, there’s mention that they kicked things off in 2025, though clearly, that’s a bit ahead of ourselves—typo or just wishful thinking about a future launch? Either way, the company already has its boots on the ground.

I reckon focusing on such a niche—matching supply and demand in construction materials—is both ambitious and a bit risky; not everyone fancies working behind the scenes with heavy stuff, but believe it or not, it’s the backbone of mega-projects in the region. Fitting’s approach to making these connections more direct could be a game changer, especially as Saudi’s property and construction boom just keeps rolling. On the flip side, of course, there are hurdles aplenty; digital adoption in this field won’t be a walk in the park, and convincing long-standing industry players to swap old habits for new tech might prove a slog.

Still, seeing practical startups like this get backing is the kind of news that boosts the whole MENA ecosystem—and all of us at Arageek get chuffed to bits whenever there’s momentum for local founders. If platforms like Fitting keep pushing the envelope, we might just see the region’s building sector leap years ahead before we know it.
